U.S. Census Bureau estimates show the nation’s older population is rising while the younger population shrinks. From 2020 to 2024, Americans age 65 and older saw a 13% increase, and the population under 18 dropped by 1.7%. Over the past 100 years, the senior population has grown considerably, rising from 4.9 million in 1920 to more than 61 million by 2024.
A 2021 report estimated that almost half of these older adults, or approximately 28 million people, may need long-term support and services, with projections that more than one-third could require care in a nursing facility at some point.
“Living a long life is something that many of us want and could get,” said Jesse Slome, executive director of the American Association for Long-Term Care Insurance. “But when we live a long life, the chances of us needing long-term care increase exponentially. But when you need that type of care, there are limited options.”
